To refine the gold, it must be heated to an extremely hot temperature (1000-1200 degrees Celsius). The heat literally burns away impurities.
The Bible likens the refinement of Christians to this same process. This means that, as Christians, we will often go through afflictions and trials. These are the heat that God uses to refine us. We can view these difficult times with a “poor, poor pitiful me” attitude, or we can see them for what they are.
God does not want you to remain stagnant in your Christian life. He wants to see us grow and mature. Unfortunately, that process often requires the fire of affliction.
My prayer is that this book will help you as you face your own personal trials and use them, not to become discouraged in your Christian life, but to actually find a way to rejoice in them. It is God’s way of maturing us (James 1:2-4).
